I recently mentioned that Qld State Archives Public Search Room visitor statistics were being scrutinised. I subsequently received (via Dr. Jennifer Harrison) this statement from the State Archivist: 'No diminution of opening hours or days at Qld State Archives is envisaged or is even being discussed.' Nevertheless, I would encourage you to visit the Archives in person or ask someone to do so on your behalf.
